In this episode of Chasing Thoughts hosts Mindy Aisling and Keith Dauch sit down with Angela Dunn-Cartledge who shares her story about grief and all the dimensions of grief. Angela brings to the conversation a take on grief that is uncommon, but makes so much sense and feels incredibly real.“Grief does not have a destination,” Angela says. There is no finish line for grieving, but that is the way it is spoken about in society. Move through the five stages of grief, and the idea is that when we are through them our grief will be a thing in the past. Time is the best healer, as if there is a magical moment in the future that grief will stop affecting us. Angela describes grief like being at the ocean. At times the waves are small, but at other times the ways come in massive and can cause a lot of hurt. Grief is like this--from a few years later to ten or twenty years later, grief can still hit us hard at times, and that is natural and okay.We hope you join us and listen in to this powerful conversation.
